Alfred Cosier MorrisCBEDL (born 12 November 1941)[1] is a British academic. He was the first vice-chancellor of the University of the West of England in Bristol from 1992 to 2005 and before that was director of its predecessor, Bristol Polytechnic, from 1986.
In September 2008, Morris was appointed interim vice-chancellor of the University of Wales, Lampeter in order to ensure the creation of a new institution incorporating Trinity University College and University of Wales, Lampeter.[2]
Since 2004, Morris has been a member of the Society of Merchant Venturers, an institution established by royal charter in 1552 whose membership is invited "from individuals who have been successful in their chosen area of business".[4][5] In response, present day Merchants point to the roles of later members including its Master, Joseph Harford, in chairing the Bristol Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade which was the first provincial committee founded, in 1788, to promote that object.
